  • Create a context for your analysis:
    • Introduce subject.
    • Why of interest?
    • Why should we learn about it?

  • Explain the tool that is guiding your analysis.

  • State your explain.
    • Make the claim of primary groups and multiphrenia. (Is it valuable?)

  • Conclude
    • Importance of what I have seen.
